The Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago. If accurate, it’s a sign that the theories forming the foundation of modern particle physics don’t tell the whole story.

Physicists may have yet another fundamental particle left to discover. When physicists at the Large Hardon Collider discovered the Higgs boson back in 2012, they’d found the last missing piece of the ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...
